Safe Zone

Shaun and Megan lived in the outskirts of a small town near Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

They ignored the news coverage of an outbreak in Africa. Africa was always having outbreaks of some sort of disease. When the networks began to report incidents taking place in Europe, they ignored the reports as another effort by the networks to sensationalize the news and make something out of nothing.

They started to take the reports more seriously when outbreaks started to occur in New York and Pittsburgh. But by then, it was too late.

Within days, the dead were everywhere. It was impossible to go into Latrobe, or any other of the towns or cities. At least it was impossible if you wanted to live.

Shaun and Megan’s life changed. Each day was a struggle to avoid the dead, to find food and to just survive.

The living began to disappear as the hordes of the dead grew. Other than their friends, Doug and Lisa, who were struggling to survive nearby, they were on their own in a world ruled by the dead.
